Think about it ... WHO actually receives the $33 Billion War Bucks?
The Military Industrial Complex takes a huge portion. Equipment, weapons, transportation, food, water, medical care, rebuilding, training, etc.

And look at the civilian corporations charging huge fees to provide these goods and services as independent contractors.

I don't begrudge our soldiers getting everything they need and deserve.

I do have a problem with billions going missing and those who are profiting in the millions of dollars off this war.

1. 9 billion still missing in Iraq and the Pentagon has yet to
divulge what happened to the 2 TRILLION yes I said TRILLION that they can't account for.

What the soldiers need and deserve is to come home.

4. The entire debacle has just been a smokescreen for wholesale theft
American troops are just collateral damage in this class war.
